LaserJockah12:12
LaserJockwell, if you've searched and can't find a similar bug you can always file one if you think there is indeed a bug12:13
LaserJockcjwatson: does/can a sync from Debian overwrite and existing .orig.tar.gz?12:18
LaserJock*an12:18
cjwatsonnot one with the same name, no12:19
LaserJockwe've got a situation where Ubuntu had an .orig.tar.gz before Debian12:19
cjwatsonthe only thing you can do in that circumstance is a "fake sync" using the Ubuntu .orig.tar.gz but producing a result equivalent to the Debian package12:19
LaserJocksame version, files are the same, just different creation times on the tarball so the md5sums don't match12:20
cjwatsonnormally using the Debian diff, but check that the Debian and Ubuntu .orig.tar.gzs produce basically the same content12:20
cjwatsonright, so Ubuntu .orig.tar.gz, Debian .diff.gz, new debian/changelog entry with "build1" on the end, upload12:20
LaserJockthat's what I was thinking, excellent12:20
LaserJockthanks12:21
bhalewould the next sync work after that?12:21
bhaleor you are stuck until new upstream12:21
LaserJockstuck until new upstream I guess12:21
bhalethought so12:21
LaserJockthis has happened more then once I think12:21
LaserJockit would be nice if we could just replace the Ubuntu .orig.tar.gz with the Debian one12:22
shawarmaLaserJock: The problem is the old .dsc files that still contain the old md5.12:22
shawarmaLaserJock: and they're all stored in the same placed and signed and everything.12:22
cjwatsonbhale: as LaserJock said12:23
cjwatsonLaserJock: breaks mirrors, no can do12:23
bhaleLaserJock: well12:24
cjwatsonshawarma: also that mirrors would have to use rsync --checksum rather than just relying on filenames, which is a big fat extra load12:24
bhaleLaserJock: it is often known what cases it will happen in12:24
bhaleLaserJock: a heads up to the Debian maintainer usually makes it a non-issue in my experience12:24
shawarmacjwatson: Oh, i thought they did that already.12:24
shawarmacjwatson: But of course, that'd be silly since we never change any existing files.12:24
shawarmacjwatson: ..apart from Packages.gz and such.12:25
shawarmacjwatson: Are Release, Sources, and Packages rsynced on the side then?12:26
cjwatsonfilenames are unique in the archive; this is an invariant12:26
cjwatsonsure12:26
cjwatsonthey're often done in a separate12:26
cjwatsoner12:26
cjwatsondists/ is different12:26
cjwatsonin fact I think it's just pool/ that has the uniqueness constraint - it's the biggest bit by far12:26
alex-weejwhoever recommended dd_rhelp to me the other day12:26
alex-weejyou are a LEGEND12:26
alex-weejit is closing up dead holes on my disk image really well12:27
cjwatsonshawarma: I believe so12:27
cjwatsonsee e.g. http://www.debian.org/mirror/anonftpsync12:27
LaserJockcjwatson: if we upload as build1 will it cause problems for the Feisty+1 syncing (i.e. normally build1 packages are automatically synced)?12:28
shawarmacjwatson: I see. That would explain why Packages sometimes referes to files that are no more.12:29
cjwatsonLaserJock: no; at worst those syncs will harmlessly fail and will have to be merged12:30
cjwatson(this isn't a new problem - we have a fair bit of experience with this :-))12:30
LaserJockheh12:30
LaserJockok, thanks12:30
cjwatsonnp12:30
shawarmacjwatson: So the complete version would be what? Debian is 1.27-2, so we'd make 1.27-2ubuntu0build1 ?12:30
cjwatsonshawarma: right12:30
cjwatsonno, 1.27-2build112:30
cjwatsonthe effect of "ubuntu" in a version is precisely to suppress automatic syncing12:31
shawarmacjwatson: ...which we want?12:31
cjwatsonin this case you don't want to do that - either there's no new upstream and the sync will fail harmlessly, or there's a new upstream and you want to autosync12:31
shawarmacjwatson: ..since manual intervention is needed anyhow.12:31
cjwatsononly if there's no new upstream12:31
cjwatsonwe don't want to overload people doing merges, so if the worst thing that happens is that a sync fails, big deal, we ignore that12:32
shawarmacjwatson: Ah... Yes, now I get it.12:32
cjwatsonit's better to try to autosync where possible12:32
shawarmacjwatson: Indeed. Makes sense. Thanks.12:32

holycowanyone here good at packaging?  i was curious if i could get someone to compile and package these drivers: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Nvidia_nForce_SoundStorm12:53
holycowi'd just like to have the .deb around for the future, i won't be buying this damned chipset anymore12:53
infinityholycow: Try #ubuntu-motu12:55
holycowdanke12:55
infinity(If you want it packaged in multiverse)12:55
infinityIt's certainly never going to be in restricted, since nvidia doesn't support the driver anymore.12:55
holycownot a bad idea, never thought of it12:55
holycownforce is no longer supported?12:55
infinityNo, the driver isn't supported.  nvidia tells people to use the open source drivers instead.12:56
holycowfor nforce?12:56
infinity(One would assume they're contributing to the open source drivers sucking less, slowly)12:56
infinityFor nforce sound, yes.12:56
holycowodd12:56
holycowwell they do provide source files for the chipset, the chipset controls a bunch of things12:56
Solarionis the gpg bug set to be pushed out soon?12:57
holycownforce sound eh?  would you know anything about nforce network card or vid support?12:57
holycowi presuve nv drivers supports video12:58
holycowmaybe then just getting a newer kernel might workie12:58
mjg59They're all supported with open drivers12:58
holycowokay, in that case, it must be just that dapper doesn't have the latest builds of those, cool thats awesome to know12:59

holycowwould it be fair to say that the best supported chipset these days are intel chipsets?01:03

jdong(1) read-only is not always taken so literally. ext3 actually does a JOURNAL PLAYBACK when you mount it ro :)02:31
alex-weejo_002:31
bluefoxicyo.O02:31
jdong(2) If significant structures change while you're reading, you'll get a kernel panic or oops02:31
jdongI have experienced both02:31
alex-weejheh02:31
alex-weejok02:31
jdongI am the authority on doing crackful things02:31
jdong:)02:31
bluefoxicyjdong:  most drivers will rework it and remount ro or just umount02:32
bluefoxicyfor file system being ass02:32
jdongbluefoxicy: in theory :)02:32
alex-weejdd_rhelp is really struggling on the last few MB of this disk02:32
bluefoxicyyes02:32
bluefoxicythat theory is "Faulty hardware means we try to back off safely"02:32
jdongbluefoxicy: I've panicked ext3 with -o errors=remount-ro before02:32
bluefoxicyI'm aware the reality can be "Let's do a BSOD"02:32
jdongbluefoxicy: that's from xen and my system both mounting a disk02:32
bluefoxicyXD02:33
jdongso alex-weej, either momentarily stop dd-rhelp or wait on mounting :)02:33
jdongand make sure you mount a COPY02:33
jdongnot the original backup image02:33
jdongbecause as I've said, a simple ro mount can change the image02:33
alex-weejyeah i'm gonna02:33
alex-weejcopying a 108 GB image is going to take a while02:33
jdong:)02:34
jdongthe sweet sound of hard disk failure02:34
=== jdong knows that sound too well
=== alex-weej too now
jdongfrom that first click-click-click to the spindown :)02:34
jdonglol02:34
alex-weejit's done pretty well tbh02:34
alex-weej- Biggest hole size :  800 k - total holes : 4656.0k02:34
alex-weej- xferd(succ/err) : 116161327.5k(116161195.5k/132.0k)02:34
wasabiSure wish OCFS2's module was in the -generic kernel. =/02:34
wasabiso i could play with it02:35
jdongalex-weej: that's very good02:35
jdongalex-weej: a helluva lot better than I've ever done02:35
alex-weejtaken me 6 hours02:35
jdongalex-weej: you caught that failure early02:35
jdongor you're just lucky02:35
alex-weejoop it's off again02:36
alex-weej- Biggest hole size :  736 k - total holes : 4212.0k02:36
alex-weej- xferd(succ/err) : 116161771.5k(116161635.5k/136.0k)02:36
alex-weej:D02:36
alex-weejstill lost 4k though :(02:36
alex-weejdo you know if that "err" bit is totally dead disk?02:36
alex-weeji might leave it going overnight see how well it is when i wake up02:37
jdongalex-weej: the err is how many blocks dd_rescue (not dd_rhelp!) stumbled on02:37
jdongalex-weej: when dd_rescue stumbles, dd_rhelp helps dd_rescue fast-forward a bit02:37
jdongalex-weej: so in reality succ/err is pretty nonsensical02:37
jdongalex-weej: it's the hole sizes that you need to worry about :)02:37
jdongalex-weej: I hope that's ext2/3, btw02:37
alex-weejyeah, why?02:38
jdongalex-weej: for the recovery ;-)02:38
alex-weejyou think i should make a copy then fsck it?02:38
jdongalex-weej: a lot of the other filesystems have a good deal of "magic metadata" that if lost means a good chunk of the structure disappears (!)02:38
jdongalex-weej: you should absolutely make a copy of it02:38
jdongfscking it is a good start02:38
alex-weejuh oh02:38
alex-weejdon't like the sound of it being a "good start"02:39
alex-weeji've put like a whole evening into this already lol02:39
jdongwell02:39
jdongfsck isn't always failproof02:39
jdongit can either02:39
jdong(1) Die / core-dump in the middle of repairing02:39
jdong(2) Give up and start slashing inode entries until you're left with 2 files02:39
jdongand then call it "clean" :D02:39
alex-weej:|02:40

alex-weejif i try and copy files off will i get potentially corrupt files or is there some sort of checksumming in effect?02:40

jdongi.e. you get an IO Error or Operation Not Permitted trying to enter a directory02:41
alex-weejhmm02:41

cjwatsonmy mozilla-nukeimage package provides hooks for a big pile of browsers that won't be installed. I think that's fine - harmless and easier than divergence09:24

iwjseb128: Then apt will hold back the breaking package.10:01
seb128and e-d-s was available before new evo10:01
seb128ok10:01
seb128so I did the updates on my box10:01
seb128packaged e-d-s first10:01
iwjIf you dpkg -i it then it deconfigures the broken package and apt is too lame to cope.10:01
seb128dpkg -i *.deb for it10:01
seb128and from that point apt was stucked10:01
seb128I had to dpkg -r evolution10:01
iwjBut there's nothing fundamentally wrong.10:01
iwjRight, that's a fine workaround.10:02
seb128I somewhat think that apt should manage and keep working10:02
iwjOr --configure --force-depends if you prefer.10:02
iwjseb128: Yes, it should.  But it's fundamental to apt's design that it can't ignore some problem even if you don't want it fixed and it can't fix it.10:03
Keybukpitti: I would have thought the IP it announced would depend on the interface that the MDNS packet was received on?10:03
mvoiwj: right. part of apts design is that the system shouldn't be broken10:03
pittiKeybuk: that's what I would expect as well, and so far it worked fine with my experiments10:03
mvoI don't think there is anything wrong with this10:03
pittiKeybuk: seems that the vmnet ones confuse avahi; I'll talk to lennart about this10:04
seb128iwj: ok, I was expecting it doing the same as for Conflicts, i.e: remove evolution on "apt-get -f install" to "fix" the situation10:04
iwjBut that doesn't fix it of course.10:04
Keybukpitti: with those up, I can't even look up the address from another machine10:04
Keybuk(I assume the replies get lost?)10:04
seb128well, that allows apt to work again10:04
seb128instead of focussing on the Breaks it can't resolve10:05
pittiKeybuk: sounds like it10:05
Keybukactually, I can't seem to look it up anyway10:05
pittiKeybuk: the other machine runs avahi as well?10:05
Keybukyes10:05
pittiKeybuk: avahi-discovery is quite handy for that, btw10:05
seb128iwj: anyway, no big deal, that happened only because I dpkg -i the package using Break on my box, will not happen to users10:05
Keybukpitti: example?10:05
pittiif you see the other machine appear, DNS should work10:05
iwjseb128: Right.10:05
pittiKeybuk: example? it's  just a gui that displays what avahi knows10:05
pittiKeybuk: btw, if you try this on powerpc, avahi seems to be seriously broken on ppc ATM10:06
Keybukavahi-discover on the desktop (edgy) shows itself and my laptop (feisty)10:06
pittis/seems to be/is/10:06
Keybukavahi-discover on the laptop (feisty) only shows itself10:06
Keybukboth of them say "Timeout reached" if I click the laptop10:07
iwjmvo: No, apt demands that the package state database doesn't record that the system is broken.  (Eg, it is happy that the system fails to have evolution installed when the user wanted it, but not happy if the database records that evolution is there but not working.)10:07
pittiKeybuk: (later, after discussion in meeting)10:07
iwjAnd in fact apt is willing to break the system further in order to make the status database prettier.10:07
iwjBut perhaps this is more of a rant for a bar somewhere :-).10:07
mvoiwj: I see your point, but from a user perspective it dosn't matter IMHO if its not working because it is not there or not working because it is there but not working :)10:08
iwjmvo: Well, yes, except that if it's there and not working at least it gets put back and made to work later.10:09

cjwatsontepsipakki: except perhaps in very complicated cases11:38
Keybuk2) when vmware IS NOT running, I just don't get any service discovery11:38

Keybukpitti: amd64 on one machine, i386 on the other11:38
Keybukpitti: running avahi-discover on my laptop (feisty i386) does not see any services my desktop (edgy amd64) exports, not even its hostname11:38
pittiKeybuk: on powerpc I have to restart /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon to make it pick up new stuff, maybe that's not just confined to ppc then11:39

Keybukit's the feisty package that seems broken11:40
pittiKeybuk: I'll talk to him about that11:40
pittiright11:40
pittiKeybuk: AFAICS you need avahi-autoipd to actually announce the IP to avahid11:40
Keybukpitti: that's bogus11:41
Keybukautoipd is only if you want a link-local IP11:41
pittiKeybuk: but that might just have been a false impression due to the broken feisty avahi11:41
Keybukservice discovery and IP discovery is supposed to work on ordinary networks too11:41
pittiactually yes11:41
Keybukthe problem just appears to be that the feisty daemon doesn't detect or announce things until it's restarted11:41

UbugtuMalone bug 72728 in avahi "Avahi possible regression in 0.6.10-0ubuntu3.2" [Undecided,In progress]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/7272802:05
pittiLathiat: I see that on my iBook, I need to restart avahi to make it see changes and even itself02:05
Lathiatpitti: yeh i think some netlink messages are coming from elsewhere in some situations i've been a bit busy to debug it02:05
Lathiatpitti: i might have a look at it now02:05
Lathiatpitti: network manager seems to particularly upset it, it never sees the interfaces come up in the first place02:06
pittiLathiat: still weird, I thought netlink messages would only come from the kernel02:06
pittibut I probably misunderstood the concept then02:06
Lathiatno they dont02:06
Lathiatfor eaxmple, when avahi request s list of network interfaces02:06
Lathiatthe PID is set to that of avahi02:07
Lathiatredhats original patch broke avahi _completely_02:07
pittithe one which only checked for pid==0, I remember02:07
Lathiatyeh02:07
Lathiatso i guess they are coming from elsewhere too02:07
Lathiatperhaps theres some other kidn of check we can do02:07

Lathiatexcuse my apparent incomptence what printf argument do i want to print a __u32 ?02:17

Lathiatyeh02:19
Lathiatweird02:19
pittiLathiat: maybe it is written with some pointer conversion magic and only the lower 16 bits get filled?02:19
=== Lathiat figures out the contents of that message
pittiLathiat: 1536174148 & 65535 == 6410002:20
cjwatsonI'd probably use printf("%lu", (unsigned long) u32_variable) myself ...02:20
pittiLathiat: do you happen to have a process with that number? (although unlikely)02:20
Lathiatnope02:20
pittiLathiat: for the record, same behavior with 2.6.17, so it's not the new kernel02:21

=== jsgotangco [i=keefejoh@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Lathiati cant reproduce that02:24
Lathiatah, yes i can02:25
Lathiatthis is weird02:25
Lathiatpitti: do you know much about how network manager works?02:25
pittiLathiat: not really at the internals02:26
Lathiati see the interface come relevant from root, then disappear, then ti comes back but it fails to join the multicast group02:26
Lathiatthen its withdrawn from a non root pid02:26
Lathiatthen comes back from a non root pid02:26
Lathiatwhich if im not dropping them, works02:26
pittiLathiat: I uploaded a new n-m yesterday that disables the internal ipv4ll stack and checks for avahi-autoipd (which is called automatically in latest feisty)02:26
Lathiatis there another tool that will monitor ip changes off netlink?02:27
pittiKeybuk: ^ do you happen to know?02:27
Lathiathrm, yes, iproute2 has a monitor mode02:27
=== Lathiat compares
Lathiatyeh network manager definitely adds and removes the ips twice then adds it again02:29
Lathiatdhclient byitself does it once02:29
Lathiatdoes network-manager use dhclient?02:29
giskardyes02:30
pittiLathiat: it calls dhcdbd which calls dhclient02:30
StevenKNo, it uses the dbus dhcp client.02:30
StevenKAh. It does, just indirectly.02:30
=== StevenK updates his internal mapping.
pittiLathiat: so first it calls dhclient, if that times out, dhclient calls avahi-autoipd through the dhclient-exit-hooks.d script02:31
pittiLathiat: during that process, the interface might go up twice (but shouldn't)02:31
pittiLathiat: which version of n-m do you have?02:31
LathiatVersion: 0.6.3-2ubuntu702:31
pittiok, that should just use avahi-autoipd02:31
giskardpitti, uh! i will grab this patch02:33
Lathiatso even with using ifconfig, it triggers a series of events that sees the ip added, removed and added again, but network manager seems to remove and add them again02:33
pittigiskard: which patch?02:33
giskardavahi-autoipd..02:33
pittigiskard: if it's the n-m one, I'm about to send it to upstream after it got some initial testing in feisty02:33
giskardpitti, do you think it's not "stable" enough?02:34
pittigiskard: I discussed the approach with Dan a bit, and he seems to agree; however, my patch is pretty hackish because I didn't want to rewrite half of the logic02:34
pittigiskard: oh, it's not unstable, it's just not a nice patch02:34
giskardoki02:34
Lathiatpitti: what happens on yoru laptop, is it after a certain time it stops working?02:34
pittigiskard: the only operational flaw that I see is that the IP address will be shown as '0' in the properties02:34
pittigiskard: i. e. it doesn't read it out from the ethX:avahi interface02:35
pittiLathiat: it never really starts working until I restart it02:35
Lathiatpitti: so if you start avahi, then use network manager to get an ip02:35
Lathiatit doesnt work at all02:35
pittiLathiat: right02:35
Lathiatdoes it do that on a clean boot?02:35
Lathiatstraight away?02:35
pittiLathiat: ok, TBH I didn't try it recently before I fiddled with n-j02:35
pittin-m even02:35
=== pitti tries
Lathiat(not a suspend,e tc)02:35
pittiLathiat: is "'avahi-browse -ta' not empty" a sufficient test?02:36
Lathiatpitti: ok, your right, i can reproduce that02:36
Lathiatstart avahi, then use network manager, cant do anything02:36
Lathiati will debug from here02:36
pittigreat02:37
pittiI cross-check on my box02:37
=== pitti wonders how hal verifies netlink packets
Lathiatand it works if i revert that patch02:37
Lathiati only tested the case of starting avahi with a network already up when i did that patch02:38
Lathiatguess i should have done more :/02:38
pittiyay, laptop doesn't boot02:38
Lathiatand it works using ifconfig02:38
Lathiatbut not network manager02:38
Lathiati've had this problem befor02:38
Lathiatenetwork manager was triggering a different code patch02:39
Lathiat*path02:39
Lathiatand it works fine with dhclient, just not network manager02:39
Lathiatit seems that extra withdraw and add does something magic02:39
Lathiatyep, avahi hasnt joined the multicast group02:40
Lathiatobviously when it withdraws the interface it drops the membership02:40
Lathiatand when it comes back, we're dropping that message because it comes from pid != 002:40
Lathiatso i'll have to chase that up02:40
Lathiatthanks for your help02:40
Lathiatknow anyone that knows network manager enough to have an explanation of why it seems to cause that?02:40
dokodholbach: yes, plus some/one wiki page(s)02:42

sivangcan anyone suggest a good package that used debhelper tp update po files? it appears that irda-utils doesn't even include a manual target in debian/rules for updating the translations, I'd like to fix that by adding it. Can someone suggest how?04:19

cjwatsonsivang: just running debconf-updatepo is usual; I've never seen anyone bother with a debian/rules target for that04:23
cjwatsonsince it's easier to type the command and then it's the same for all packages that have translated debconf templates :)04:23
sivangcjwatson: will this also handle updates to the .pot file?04:24

cjwatsonsee its man page with the command-line options04:24
sivangcjwatson: cool , thanks. Somehow I got the wrong impression this needs to happen when building04:24
sivang;)04:24
cjwatsonit's more usual to run it before building the source package, so that they're up to date in the source04:24
sivangcjwatson: right, makes more sense actually, I had based this impression on the gdebi package upon which I based my hubackup package.04:25
sivangcjwatson: mvo included there a call to update pot/po files in the form of a call to intltool04:26
sivangcjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35783/ , but this is in setup.py04:28
cjwatsonsivang: that tends to happen for .pot/.po files outside debian/po/, since the process for updating those is less consistent04:28

alex-weejwhat package is dbus-viewer in these days?06:23
alex-weejjdong: reproducable06:23
jdongis it a bug?06:24
alex-weeji guess it's because windows try to raise themselves as soon as they are clicked06:24
alex-weejbut by the time that happens06:24
alex-weejyou've already activated another window06:24
jdongyeah, that's what I thought too06:24
alex-weejand the WM won't let it take focus 06:24
jdongand it doesn't sound like there's an easy fix06:24
alex-weejno06:24
alex-weejother than changing the behaviour of scrollwheel on the window list06:24
alex-weejto be totally honest with you i don't think it's a good feature06:25
alex-weeji love being able to scroll through tabs and the workspace switcher06:25
jdongalex-weej: yeah, i.e. don't allow another window selection until the first one is raised....06:25
alex-weejbut it just seems a bit odd on the wlist06:25
jdongthough that could result in a hang condition06:25
alex-weejjdong: yeah it could block but that would make it slow06:25
alex-weejjdong: the most seamless fix would be to make the windows raise, but not steal focus06:25
alex-weejjdong: but that would require to hint the WM as to what is going on06:26
alex-weejjdong: as windows don't normally raise if they won't have focus06:26

bluefoxicyAnyone know when security-best-practice became security-vulnerability from Ubuntu's POV, and why I wasn't notified?10:23
=== bluefoxicy points at bug 49323
UbugtuMalone bug 49323 in gnupg "gnupg executable stack fix" [Undecided,Confirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/4932310:24
bluefoxicy..... oh thanks Ubugtu, I'm going to have loads of fun with you.  *starts looking for security-sensitive flagged bugs that he can't access*10:24
bluefoxicyactually I wonder if that's hidden.10:25
mjg59bluefoxicy: Given that ubugtu runs as an unprivileged user...10:25
mjg59ubugtu debian 40000010:25
UbugtuDebian bug 400000 in libroxen-imho "libroxen-imho: [INTL:fr]  French debconf templates translation" [Wishlist,Closed]  http://bugs.debian.org/40000010:25
keescookbluefoxicy: it's just something I wanted to watch, so I marked it a security vuln.  But you're right, I should just subscribe instead.10:25
bluefoxicymjg59:  yes, interesting.  That bug is marked as a security vulnerability now (for some reason); I was wondering 1) why; and 2) doesn't that hide the bug from normal users?10:26
bluefoxicykeescook:  nods.  Not that I'm complaining about the added attention mind you; just I tried that angle before and was told that it was just wishlist-priority (for gaim) (which I fixed)10:26
keescookbluefoxicy: there's a difference between "security" and "private"10:26
bluefoxicykeescook:  ah.  On most (mozilla at least, and gentoo IIRC) bugzillas security == zomg nondisclosure10:27
keescookI was scratching my head for a while when I first read it because there isn't any amd64 asm, so gpg on my machine doesn't have an exec stack.  :P  showed up (obviously) in the i386 chroot10:28
bluefoxicykeescook:  by any chance were you interested in looking for these yourself?  :)10:28
=== haggai [n=halls@credativ.bcnadsl.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
keescookyeah, it's on my list of general cleanups, hardening, etc.10:28
bluefoxicynods.  Install pax-utils, scanelf -qeR /bin (or /lib or /usr or any combination), and there you go.  There's some good docs .. actually you can just follow the link that's on that bug ;)10:29
keescookbluefoxicy: if you've been collecting these, can you make a wiki page (if there isn't one already) of the program that need the exec-stack fixes?10:30
keescookyeah, the gentoo hardening docs are great.10:30
bluefoxicykeescook:  it's easy enough to generate your own; but sure.  I should move HardenedHacking somewhere easier... and clean it up.10:30
jdongbluefoxicy: my grsec+PaX is still acting like while true; do echo Segmentation Fault; done10:30
keescookalso on my list is to recompile all of main with PIE and see if I still have a functional system.  :)10:30
jdongit took them 400 lines of code to accomplish what one bash line could :)10:31
jdong</sarcasm>10:31
bluefoxicykeescook:  Gentoo is great in general.  Walk their Portage CVS tree, and you'll find tons of patches to kill executable stacks or PIC violations and such.  It probably wouldn't hurt to get in touch with their hardened herd... (bhale/tseng is a former dev)10:31
LarstiQjdong: if all it does is echo.. :)O10:32

jdongbugs: can't secure /sbin/init10:32
bluefoxicyjdong:  which kernel version, and can I see your .config for reference (I'll poke #grsecurity on OFTC and see if they see anything; but you'd really be better off asking there)10:33
jdong2.6.19-ish10:33
jdonganyway10:33
jdongI'm saving trying grsec again for another day10:33
bluefoxicyhuh.. is that released or from ~/spender?10:33
jdongI have better uses of my time for now :)10:33
jdongit was the latest released one I found on grsecurity.org10:34
=== keescook runs off to snag some lunch
bluefoxicythe latest is for .1810:34
bluefoxicyI suggest you don't try to wedge it into .19, brad is having problems making that work himself ;)10:34
jdongthen I meant .1810:34
jdongI knew it matched10:34
jdongyeah, it was 1810:35
bluefoxicyah ok10:35
jdongand I wouldn't try something that silly10:35
bluefoxicyjdong:  .config?10:35
jdongbleh, I just collapsed all my bzr kernel trees10:35
jdongI'll deal with it later10:35
bluefoxicyok10:35
jdongwe've talked about this before, bluefoxicy :)10:35

bluefoxicyjdong:  if you actually get a chance, can you get a core so you can get a back trace?  Also pipacs is asking you to come over to #grsecurity or #pax on OFTC when you get time10:39
bluefoxicyjdong:  and try vdso=0 on the kernel command line if it's breaking that early10:39

shayaweird Q, is there a good document anywhere that explains how apt does dependency resolving?11:44
shayaor can someone give me a quick and dirty explanation11:45
shawarmaWhere are the ddebs stored? Still in pitti's public_html ?11:45
shawarmashaya: About the code or the policy?11:45
shayanot so much policy, but given package X, how does it determine closed set of packages it needs to install11:46
=== tsmithe` is now known as tsmithe
shayabasically looking for something for a writeup I'm doing (where basically saying we don't need to focus on dependency resolving as its a solved problem)11:46
psusiit looks at the packages that one depends on and if they aren't already isntalled, installs them?11:47
shayatrue, I'm more looking for a specific term, basically we have a huge package graph11:50
shayaor directed graph11:50
shayawhere package nodes point to the package nodes they depend on11:50
shayawhen you want to install package A, apt-get has to create a "term I don't know"11:50
psusiit doesn't have to create anything11:52
psusiit just installs the packages listed in the depends header11:52
psusiand in doing so, may end up  installing more packages listed in THOSE depends11:52
shawarmashaya: You're maybe thinking of the dependency tree?11:53
shawarmashaya: And it seems that you're actually curious about the policy that governs what apt is supposed to do rather than the actual code in apt. :-)11:53
shawarmashaya: ...and the policy is the debian policy.11:54
shawarmashaya: You're still free to ask, of course.11:54
